About this tag
The ir35 tag on WindowsForum.com covers UK off-payroll working rules and how they affect specialist contractors, including Windows, cloud, cyber, and data professionals who operate through personal service companies. Discussion centres on public-sector compliance and the practical risks that arise when departments change how they record IR35 determinations. A recurring example is the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's annual accounts, which showed a sharp shift in determinations among highly paid temporary off-payroll workers earning at least £245 a day. The coverage is deliberately narrow, treating the figures as a compliance signal rather than proof of a broader crackdown on IT contracting.
